There seems to be no way for a login handler to return a status of NoPassive. 
 The handler's login servlet, the servlet that first gets the remote user 
variable (like RemoteUserAuthnServlet), appears to have only one exit: the 
returnToAuthenticationEngine of the distributed AuthenticationEngine class.  
But that method never looks for anything but the principal name - everything 
else is a 'no user' error.  How can I, after a loop through Pubcookie, set up 
a NoPassive response from the IdP?
